Introduced to graduates as the funniest man on earth, actor and
comedian Jim Carrey was a surprise speaker at Maharishi
University's School of Management commencement ceremony.

And while he kept the jokes and outrageous facial expressions
flowing, his speech was studded with earnest and genuine pieces
of advice. Much of his insight came from his own experience.

Carrey shared the valuable lesson he learned watching his father
sacrifice doing what he loved -- being a comedian -- for the good
of his family. It wasn't until his father lost his job as an
accountant that Carrey realized the importance of following your
dreams.

"I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of
which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might
as well take a chance on doing what you love," Carrey told the
graduates at the Fairfield, Iowa university.

Ultimately, every decision they make will be motivated by either
love of fear. His father chose fear. It was a deceptively easy
choice because fear can be hard to recognize. "So many of us
chose our path out of fear disguised as practicality," Carrey
said. "What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and
ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for
it. I'm saying I'm the proof that you can ask the universe for
it. And if it doesn't happen for you right away, it's only
because the universe is so busy fulfilling my order."
